Answer:
x=3.5
Step-by-step explanation:
The first step is to subtract both sides by 5 so you can find x alone
2x+5=12 (12-5=7)
2x=7 Now you divide both sides by 2 so that you have x alone and have the answer
x=3.5 (7÷2 = 3.5)
x = 3 1/2
subtarct 5 by 12 and 5
getting 2x = 7
now divide 2 by both sides
